Dive into Digital Drumming with This Affordable Alesis Kit!

Whether you're a student drummer or a pro player, you'll like the feel of the Alesis DM7X electronic drum set for both practicing and live jamming. The versatile DM7X kit delivers the feel and playability of an acoustic kit combined with the fun sounds and effects, quiet practicing capabilities, and USB/MIDI connectivity that only an electronic drum kit can afford.

Advanced E-Drums for Both Quiet Practice and Loud, Live Playing

The DM7X kit's rubber drum and cymbal pads, along with the low-noise Stealth Kick 2 pedal, are perfect for practicing quietly at any time of day or night. Housemates and neighbors might hear some tapping sounds, or possibly some grunting if you really get into your performance, but that's about it.

The Alesis DM7X kit's preassembled rack is supremely portable and easy to use, making this drum kit a no-brainer choice for playing away from your home base. Pack it up and bring it to gigs, off-site rehearsals, church events, and so forth -- and enjoy setting up in five minutes or less.

DM7X Module Loaded With Kits and Sounds

Tap in to the kit's DM7X module and get instant access to 40 kits ranging in style from classic to modern, plus 385 drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds. All included kits are ready to play, but if you decide that none of them suit your needs, you can use the onboard sounds to create your own custom kit. Designed to be simple to use, the sound module has a backlit LCD screen for easy viewing on stage and off, along with drum and cymbal buttons that are arranged to resemble the layout of a traditional kit. If you're used to playing acoustic drums, you will really appreciate the placement of the buttons.

Add Skills as You Play

In addition to a variety of sounds and playable kits, the DM7X module features built-in learning tools, 60 play-along music tracks, a metronome, an advanced sequencer, and a performance recorder. You can use these helpful features to improve your playing and keep track of your progress.

Essential Ins and Outs

As far as connectivity goes, the sound module is equipped with a USB MIDI connection for use with computers and mobile devices, plus MIDI In and Out jacks for hooking up a MIDI-equipped drum machine, another sound module, or any of your MIDI-enabled audio gear.

You can practice quietly if you plug in to the module's headphone jack, or jam along to your favorite tracks on your CD or MP3 player when using the stereo AUX input. When you feel like sharing your sound with the world, use the stereo outputs to connect to a PA system, amplifier, or recording console.

The DM7X Kit electronic drum kit has the professional sounds, stealthy drums and cymbals, and quick-to-set-up-and-tear-down rack to support any practice run or performance. In this price range, the Alesis DM7X Kit is hard to beat!

"Really NICE KIT!!!"

Overall:
This is my 1st drum kit, and I gotta say It really is a sweet kit. After practicing on a RealFeel practice pad for a year I decided to upgrade to a real drum kit Well actually an electronic kit since I live in a high rise co-op. After researching different kits I had my heart set on the Roland TD11 but that kit is $1000! Again I am a raw beginner so I figured I need something with excellent quality but also within the budget. So the Alesis DM7x provided that. I am very happy with the kit . I have it 6 days I already can see the improvement in my playing. Now I DO Not consider myself a drummer but I can see where the practice on my pad has helped. Ok first I got the kit from zZounds ,got a great deal ,an offer I couldn't refuse. My son and I put the kit together in about an hr & a half. The instructions ARE vague and we had to go on the pictures in the instructions. The pre-assembled rack is great that WILL save you time in assembly. But we did do trial and error with the rest. But after the assembly is done the big test, actually going on the kit and taking it for a test drive. It really is superb. I still haven't figured out all the features on the kit but I am slowly learning how to raise the volume on the different drums & cymbals, playing with the different sounds and kits. Yes it has 40 kits built in ,but many sound the same. Also it would of been helpful if the kits had names, such as rock kit, metal kit, latin kit and so on. Now the pedals are ok , as in other reviews the HiHat pedal is kind of bogus. It just makes the sounds of a open or close hihat. But at my playing skill its just fine. With the Alesis you do get the bass drum pedal that is pretty good, now I gotta get a better rug to put the pedals on. with the Roland kits the bass drum pedals are extra! So as of right now the Alesis DM7x kit is a family favorite both my sons think its a great kit, even my wife thinks I did a good job getting it. Oh did say Im 55 years old just starting to learn drums! I figure If I keep practicing I can give a little concert at my retirement party in a couple of years. HaHa! Well I'll update this review as I go along But as of right now you cant beat this kit !!!

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

"Excellent Kit"

Sound:
Very nice sound. It will never sound like an acoustic kit, you could spend thousands and still not achieve that. But I am quite pleased with the sound this produces. I ran it through an old receiver I had for the first month or so, then purchased the Alesis Transactive Drummer Amp. That made the kit complete, and self contained. Sounds terrific, and can put out some volume!
Feature:
I like the feel of the pads, you can get a realistic bounce. The kick pedal leaves a lot to be desired. It does have a tendency to double beat the trigger, but I am trying different adjustments to minimize that effect. I will be upgrading to a kick pad in the near future.
The high-hat does an adequate job, but it sometimes touchy.
The module is good, with a lot of features. Their user manual really blows. Easy fix- google "DD 512 e-drum manual" and you will find a comprehensive guide for the same module, sold by a different company. It has all of the sounds and kit listings as well.
Ease of Use:
The module produces almost every sound you need/want. The aforementioned manual is a big help.
Quality:
This was well built, and easy to put together.
Value:
This product is worth the advertised $700, but you can bargain down. I paid $523 and free shipping.
Manufacturer Support:
Alesis customer support is responsive, but not real informative. I was asking for a list of "voices," and they had nothing. That's when I found the information elsewhere.
The Wow Factor:
This kit, above all others, has everything you would want. The extra tom and crash are nice, and it does exactly what I expected it to do.
Overall:
I'm just an old guy that hasn't played in forty years or so. I bought this kit to see if I still have any talent, and can practice my repeated riffs without disturbing mankind. I have been using the headphones, and have been able to get up to speed. Unfortunately for me, that speed is completely inconsistent, and I pretty much suck at drumming.
But I am having alot of fun, and HIGHLY recommend this kit for beginners or masters that just need quiet.
